Reviews"Engrossing . . . Wendel's characters are complex and passionate. The unfolding of their lives is fascinating." --The Washington Post "Irresistible . . . Castro's Curveball has all the excitement of a tie-breaking home run." --The Baltimore Sun "Tim Wendel's love and impressive knowledge of baseball suffuses every page of this passionate novel of love, loss, and the real freedom that wisdom and time sometimes bring." --KEN BURNS Coauthor of Baseball: An Illustrated History "A cleverly imaginative, spirited and engaging novel . . . The author brilliantly depicts life in Havana both pre- and post-Castro, and his baseball lingo is lively and authentic." --PARADE magazine "Superbly crafted." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A beguiling mix of thriller and love story . . . capturing the Bull Durham-like camaraderie of has-beens and wanna-bes struggling to keep their dreams alive." --Booklist "Outstanding . . . Some of the best game-action sequences in fiction. . . . Multifaceted and intriguing." --Publishers Weekly From the Trade Paperback edition.
